Data Logging - To view video go to www.watlow.com/F4T.
Data Logging can be enabled at any time and will log a user selectable list of data points.
While data logging is enabled, the data log file is stored within either the USB device memory
or internal memory. Once the file reaches a specified size (if being transferred automatically),
it will be sent directly to one of three other destinations (USB, TFTP server or a Samba serv-
er). The file transfer can also be initiated manually at any time. The file transfer process from
internal memory, whether completed automatically or manually, will move all log files from
internal memory to the selected destination. To learn more about data logging see "Data
Logging" in the Overview Section of this User Guide.
